kiffin hired per espn

[BAMADCHAMPSHIPS]

Alabama has hired Lane Kiffin as the Tide's new offensive coordinator, sources told ESPN.com.

Kiffin was fired as USC's head coach in late September after a 62-41 loss at Arizona State. He registered a 28-15 record with the Trojans following a one-year stint at Tennessee, where he was 7-6.

The 38-year-old Kiffin visited with Alabama coach Nick Saban before the Allstate Sugar Bowl "to share ideas and exchange ideas ... [for] professional development," Saban said at the time.

"Lane is a really good offensive coach, and I've always had a tremendous amount of respect for him," Saban said then. "Just to come in and brainstorm a little bit to get some professional ideas with our guys is a really positive thing."

Well spring practice just got A LOT more interesting. I actually like the move, even if I am not a huge fan of Kiffin's past persona. If he can get this offense going in the right direction, I am all for it.

If nothing else, this will tick Tennessee fans off!!

That's always fun to do!

To me, this is a bold move by CNS and an indication that he wants significant change in the Bama O.  And that's good.  Could also be a plus for recruiting guys on O if they believe that Bama's O will be more 'wide open.'

But I still think Kiff is a jerk and hope he won't cause tension on the staff.

Whatever...let's look forward to nice pix of Ms K.

The Aubs can no longer say that Saban is the biggest jerk in the state!

Personally I think Kiffen may get on his knees and thank God for this opportunity. I think we will see a new Lane Kiffen in his tenure as the OC at Bama.

I like the hire. He was a great OC. Look what he did for Matt Lienart. Remember he will stay away from the media. He will speak publicly in August and at bowl time. This could be good for Kiffin. He can focus on getting a new qb up to speed and enhance the offense. In 05 Reggie Bush won the Heisman and Lienart put up unreal numbers.
The negatives will be watched by CNS and compliance. I don't see any shananigins like he had at ut.

Living in Tennesseee my ut friends are having a field day with this. All I can say is get your popcorn ready for October 25 in Knoxville. I hope those rednecks don't flip our busses over. That said, welcome CLK to Bama.

Just think what he can do with the stable of running backs and quarterbacks that he has to work with. If Kirby can get the defense where it needs to be again, Bama will win the NC again next year, easily.
